knock knock....
: who's there?
ok, on a LITTLE bit more serious note.
I got back and I am now thinking, all that is produced in the garden has one way or another to be used, even things that some take as waste.
Like say corn:
corn grain -> malted to make some whiskey, the malted grain fed to chickens and all the other critters. or.. simply eat em strait up yourself (without malting)
corn cobs -> again as feed, but I am sure you can get way more creative then that, like someone on this forum uses em as a wick in a veggie oil lamp
covering leaves -> soak up to make a liquid fertilizer and some paper, instead of paper you can also make a wooden mold to make a great 1 inch cube plant starters, but it needs some research on what can be started in those.
stalks -> that needs to be confirmed by someone, BUT some people claim to make baskets for picking crop out of them. but I just don't see that happening, I would easier believe in using it as firewood.
example made
on to my real question.
so... I know that it might be different around US, couse you do have all those poisonous snakes stalking to bite you in the a..
but in poland we do not, except on occasion when a moron owner turns his little 3-4 meter long pet loose couse he got bored with it. I have a couple of friends who have/had snakes most of em HAD. while it was a little mice farm to feed em it was a-ok, but when it came to feeding rabbits they couldn't do it
saying..."o just look at that little pretty thing, how could I feed it to the big ugly, bad, terrifying.. jad jada jada... snake", so they sold it. OK, now the question, here it comes, since death is a everyday experience on a farm, some critters are even born dead. some drop of no apparent reasons, being healthy as in not carrying any disease, dropping due to a heart attack like the big meat chickens, or in the first days of their life. So we are stuck with those poor little things dead... I know I know, this time it comes, seriously comes, would it be possible to freeze such drops and feed them to a snake? I know that some people buy frozen mice, heat em up in the microwave when needed and feed to the snake. But can critters that drop be fed to a snake. And then there is the second question, it is nice to make a death on your farm count somehow for sure, but what to do with that snake then. I mean you could go all posh, snobby, and all that jada jada... skin the snake and make something out of the skin (some of you make things out of rabbit pelts already right?) and maybe even eat the flesh, but I know that I would have a lot of trouble to push myself to take the first bite for sure... but some friends that were in one of those countries where they eat snakes, say they are the most delish meat... :disgusted:
